Yet preparing teachers to teach computer science or integrate computer science content into K-12 curricula remains an enormous challenge. Recent policy reports have suggested the need to prepare future teachers to teach computer science through pre-service teacher education programs. In order to prepare a generation of teachers who are capable of delivering computer science to students, however, the field must identify research-based examples, pedagogical strategies, and policies that can facilitate changes in teacher knowledge and practices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe purpose of this book is to provide examples that could help guide the design and delivery of effective teacher preparation on the teaching of computer science.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book identifies promising pathways, pedagogical strategies, and policies that will help teacher education faculty and preservice teachers infuse computer science content into their curricula as well as teach stand-alone computing courses. Specifically, the book focuses on pedagogical practices for developing and assessing pre-service teacher knowledge of computer science, course design models for pre-service teachers, and discussion of policies that can support the teaching of computer science. The primary audience of the book is students and faculty in educational technology, educational or cognitive psychology, learning theory, teacher education, curriculum and instruction, computer science, instructional systems, and learning sciences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart I: Pedagogical Practices For Developing And Assessing Pre-Service Teachers' Knowledge Of Computer Science\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart II: Course Design Models For Preparing Preservice Teachers To Teach Computer Science\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart III: University And State Policies For Preparing Pre-Service Teachers To Teach Computer Science\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthor\/Editor Biographies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Information Age Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51359932580183,"sku":"9781648024566","price":47.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781648024566.jpg?v=1754126156","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/preparing-pre-service-teachers-to-teach-computer-science-models-practices-and-policies-9781648024566","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
